Riyoko Ikeda (池田 理代子, Ikeda Riyoko, born December 18, 1947) is a Japanese manga artist and singer. She is included in the Year 24 Group by some critics, journalists, and academics, although her inclusion has been debated due to a focus more on epic stories than the internal psychology of those mangaka.[1] She was one of the most popular Japanese comic artists in the 1970s, being best known for The Rose of Versailles.
